Net income decreased primarily due to a lower underwriting gain and a change to net realized losses in the 2025 period from net realized gains in the 2024 period, partially offset by higher net investment income. For further discussion of investment results, see MD&A - Investment Results.

Underwriting Gain

Underwriting gain declined due to higher CAY catastrophe losses, partially offset by the effect of earned premium growth and slightly higher favorable prior accident year development, including $8 of a greater benefit for amortization of the deferred gain on the Navigators ADC.

Expense ratio improved modestlyas the impact of higher earned premium was partially offset by a slightly higher commission ratio due to business mix.

[1]Other earned premiums of $15 and $16 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2025, respectively.

Written Premiums

[1]Other written premiums of $14 and $16 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2025, respectively.

Earned premiums increased due to written premium increases over the prior twelve months.

Written premiums increased driven by growth across small business, middle & large business and global specialty.

Small business written premium increased driven by double-digit new business growth and renewal written price increases in almost all lines. Written premium grew in nearly all lines of business, including package business, excess and surplus and automobile.

Middle & large business written premium increased driven by high single-digit new business growth and renewal written price increases in all lines. Written premium grew in nearly all lines across industry verticals, specialty markets, and large property.

Global specialty written premium increased driven by written price increases across almost all lines as well as an increase in gross new business, primarily in U.S. excess casualty insurance lines. Written premiums also grew in global reinsurance, primarily in property, credit risk and casualty.

Renewal written price increases were recognized in most lines.

In small business, renewal written price increases were higher than the prior year, with low double-digit price increases in package business and automobile and moderating high single-digit price increases in excess and surplus lines. Workers' compensation pricing was slightly negative.

In middle market, renewal written price increases were consistent with prior year levels overall, with mid single-digit to low double-digit price increases in most lines. Liability pricing has accelerated and property pricing has moderated from 2024 levels. Workers’ compensation continued to be modestly positive.

In global specialty, price increases were slightly higher than prior year levels with mid single-digit renewal written price increases overall, including high single to mid-teen increases in casualty and auto lines.

Underlying Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio

Underlying Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio increased slightly due to a higher general liability loss ratio, reflecting the increased severity trends observed primarily during the second half of 2024, partially offset by lower net non-catastrophe property losses.
